Does any alum here have experience with movement off the waitlist? how long did you hear back? is it worth reaching out and asking?
 
Does anyone have access to the pre orientation materials yet?

Yes, I do.
You can access it through Blackboard Learn. You won't see any specific course for it, but you can see materials by clicking the activity stream on the left sidebar.
 
When you guys got access to the blackboard, were the courses already there or did it take some time for everything to upload?
 
Yeah. I honestly dont even know if i will make it to that 3.4. trying my best.
Details please? What has been the hardest part? Any advice for future applicants and what were your stats?? Good Luck! YOU ARE CAPABLE AND I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
 
Does anyone know where I can find the matriculation rate of the program? I have been hearing that this years cohort and last years cohort did not have a great matriculation rate into the college of medicine. I am wondering if anyone can share their personal experience or can provide the numbers.

Hi! Details on the matriculation rate of the program are not released to the students/not public knowledge. My personal take on the reason people drop is that the program is simply rigorous. Individuals have to adapt their study methods and put in the time to learning the material in a way that allows them to perform, but there are students who don't do this.

The unfortunate (but necessary) reality of this program is there is little wiggle room when it comes to poor exam performance. It is crucial that students try and seek help before they tank an exam, or reach out to staff for additional steps. People drop for all types of reasons, of which is majorly academic from what I have seen. It's not to say that DPMS does not care about their students, they do, but this program demands all of your time and resources (including emotional, physical, etc).

Per administrative staff, drop out rates from these past two years are no different from what they've been throughout the length of this program. I promise you (and all future applicants), if you put in the work, you will see your reward!

Why not public knowledge? I’ve received mixed reviews so far from mostly current dpms students so I’m not sure what is exactly true 🙃. At this point I think I’ll just apply. I am applying to multiple schools but I am hesitant about drexel because this is the only school that I haven’t been able to find numbers for.
